Questions: Why does Bath need flood defences? Aim: To understand how Bath is an example of an effective flood management scheme. AQA GCSE > Living with the Physical Environment > Physical Landscapes in the UK > River Landscapes in the UK. I'm a Bath based Geography teacher, whose dissertation had a lot to do with Bath's flood defences... This is a very decent lesson, but in reality GCSE students don't need this much detail. First Taught - June 2017 My lessons are planned and taught using Smart Notebook, but a pdf is also included. If you like this lesson the whole unit (14 lessons) is available as a bundle for just £6.

Title: What is Soft Engineering? Aim: To evaluate 4 soft engineering flood management strategies. AQA GCSE > Living with the Physical Environment > Physical Landscapes in the UK > River Landscapes in the UK. (But should cover most new GCSE specs) First Taught - June 2017 My lessons are planned and taught using Smart Notebook, but a pdf is also included. If you like this lesson the whole unit (14 lessons) is available as a bundle for just £6.

Title - How is hard engineering used to manage river flooding? Aim - To be able to explain hard engineering techniques and evaluate some of the costs and benefits of these. AQA GCSE > Living with the Physical Environment > Physical Landscapes in the UK > River Landscapes in the UK. (But should cover most new GCSE specs) First taught - June 2017 My lessons are planned and taught using Smart Notebook, but a pdf is also included. If you like this lesson the whole unit (14 lessons) is available as a bundle for just £6.

Title: Flooding -Who's to Blame? Aim: To identify physical and human causes of flooding and introduce hydrographs. AQA GCSE > Living with the Physical Environment > Physical Landscapes in the UK > River Landscapes in the UK. (But should cover most new GCSE specs) This will take you two lessons. It covers the hydrological cycle with key terms, human and physical causes of flooding and finally storm hydrographs, again with key terms. I appreciate not everyone uses Smart Notebooks so a PDF of the lesson is included, as is a HOMEWORK. Thanks for looking.

Title: What's so special about the river Severn? Aim: To identify the major landforms of erosion and deposition on the River Severn. AQA GCSE > Living with the Physical Environment > Physical Landscapes in the UK > River Landscapes in the UK. (But should cover most new GCSE specs) Bored of teaching about the Tees and High Force? Me too. As a teacher based in the South West teaching a more local 'example' makes more sense. I've also included a PDF of the lesson. I know not everyone uses Smart Notebook. Thanks for looking.

Title: What landforms are found in a rivers lower course? Aim: To describe the characteristics of floodplains and explain how levees are formed. AQA GCSE > Living with the Physical Environment > Physical Landscapes in the UK > River Landscapes in the UK. (But should cover most new GCSE specs) No textbook required. There's a useful mapwork activity included in the lesson. Please note. My lessons are planned and taught using Smart Notebook, but I've also included a powerpoint version.

Title: What fluvial landforms occur in the middle course of rivers? Aim: To describe the characteristics of Meanders and Oxbow Lakes and explain their formation. AQA GCSE > Living with the Physical Environment > Physical Landscapes in the UK > River Landscapes in the UK. (But should cover most new GCSE specs) This is classic Geography, but the lesson provides students (and you) with everything needed to tackle any exam question on either meanders or oxbow lakes. Also included is a really useful revision sheet, which summarises the lot. My lessons are planned and taught with Smart Notebook, but a PDF is also included. Thanks for looking.

Title: What landforms does erosion produce? Aim: To describe and explain how interlocking spurs, rapids, waterfalls and gorges are formed. AQA GCSE > Living with the Physical Environment > Physical Landscapes in the UK > River Landscapes in the UK. (But should cover most new GCSE specs) Exam style homework included. 14 marks. Draws on various elements of the unit so far This lesson covers interlocking spurs, waterfalls and gorges as required by by the specification, but also rapids... because they're cool. My lessons are planned and taught using Smart Notebook, but a PDF is also included. Thanks for looking.

Title: How do rivers transport and deposit their load? Aim: To explain how a river transports and deposits its load. AQA GCSE > Living with the Physical Environment > Physical Landscapes in the UK > River Landscapes in the UK. (But should cover most new GCSE specs) First Taught: June 2017 I decided to tag deposition on the end of this lesson. It just doesn't warrant it's own lesson at this stage. More depth is given in Lesson 8 of the unit - Levees and Floodplains. My lessons are planned and taught using Smart Notebook, but a PDF is also included. Thanks for looking.

Title: How do rivers shape the land? Aim: To explain how a river erodes its bed, banks and load. AQA GCSE > Living with the Physical Environment > Physical Landscapes in the UK > River Landscapes in the UK. (But should cover most new GCSE specs) The content could also be adapted for KS3. This took me 2 lessons to teach well. This lesson covers vertical and lateral erosion before introducing abrasion, corrosion, attrition and hydraulic action. Students then produce revision cards for each type of erosion and can also produce revision videos. Opportunities to stretch and challenge included. Good evidence if teaching as an observed lesson/interview lesson. My lessons are planned and taught using Smart Notebook, but a PDF is also included. Thanks for looking.

Title: Source to Mouth or Bank to Bank? Aim: To describe and explain the long profile and changing cross profile of a river and its valley. AQA GCSE > Living with the Physical Environment > Physical Landscapes in the UK > River Landscapes in the UK. (But should cover most new GCSE specs) Panned and first taught: May 2017 This lesson covers drainage basins, long profile, channel cross profile and valley cross profile. Tasks include map skills and exam questions. All resources are included, no specific text book is required. Thanks for looking. (Please note. My lessons are planned and taught using smart notebook, but a powerpoint version of the lesson is included.)

Title: Where are the UK's uplands, lowlands and rivers? Aim: To identify the relief and landscapes of the UK. AQA GCSE > Living with the Physical Environment > Physical Landcapes in the UK > UK Physical Landscapes. (But could be easily adapted for KS3 or a decent cover lesson) Planned and Taught May 2017 This is that strange line of the spec which sits above Rivers and Coasts. We've decided to teach it before Rivers, but it would make just as much sense to teach it before you start Coasts. I've done my best to 'sex up' a part of the spec that has Gove written all over it. The lesson therefore starts with some 'ubergeography', which is designed to prompt class discussion, then your students can crack on with the map work. You'll need an Atlas. Thanks for looking. Please note. My lessons are planned and taught using smart notebook, but a powerpoint version is also included here.

Title: How important is tourism in Nepal? Aim: To explore how tourism in Nepal (LIC) is helping to close the development gap.
